These are the simple thoughts and statements of a 27-year-old simple young man from Mobile, Alabama who now lives in Indianapolis. I make no promises that the insights provided will be either thought-provoking or even interesting, but they will be mine.

While searching for information on Hoosiers who served in the Confederate military I stumbled upon your blog and felt compeled to offer a comment and an invitation. Last summer I attended the national reunion of the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Mobile necessitating my first visit to that city. I have traveled all over the world. Mobile, Alabama is the friendliest city I have every been in!!! Being born in the Hoosier state I can only hope you don’t think too harshly of Indianapolis!
Now for my invitation: Being from Alabama I must assume that you have a Confederate ancestor (probably many!). We have about 150 members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans here in Indiana and I hope you will contact me about membership!
I also would like to invite you and your wife to Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis on April 26th at 11 am when we will have a ceremony to honor the 1,616 Confederate POWs buried there. There are men from ALL of the Confederate states including 26 black Confederates and at least 1 Cherokee Confederate.
Please feel free to contact me anytime!
Thanks!
